Terrific Torres secured derby win
in action
I bought this saucepan a few days ago at IKEA. I don't wanna promote IKEA as I won't never ever get money of them;-) But beside Tefal and WMF, which are without a doubt are very good manufacterers, this is a cheap and good addition for a kitchen.

The One Last Dance
Check out "the one last dance" on www.myspace.com/flamingogogo for a more silent moment beside rock music. Flamingo is the solo project of Emil Bulls singer Christoph for making "electro-pop-rock", which is turning out pretty well.
Forever
Damn, I just figured out how cool this song and the video is. This is a real rockband, baby!

Metallica is record-breaking
Metallica sold over 100.000 copies of their record "Death Magnetic" in three days after its release. This is German record as no other album has been sold so quickliy. The other good news is that people are buying CDs and are not download them illegally.

World Series Of Poker Europe
The second WSOP Europe is beginning at 1 pm in London with several tournaments until October 2nd. Of course "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth is there to gain his 12th bracelet. We'll see if he can do it or if Annette Obrestad will defend her title of the main-event-winner. Also we'll see what the German poker players are able to reach.

winning mentality
This has only been the start, but it could be the season of Liverpool FC - a title winning season!
When do we eat?
Spencer/Hill-chili
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
150 g of bacon
250 g chopped meat (pork)
2 cans of beans
a litre of tomato-ginger sauce (released erlier here)
a bell pepper
a habanero (be careful with it because it's really hot)
3 spoons of honey
tomato purree (if needed)
olive oil
salt, pepper, coriander, majoran
This recipy is the result of my thoughts how the cowboys would have cooked it in the wild west. I can imagine, that they have done it pretty easy with common ingredients and without any kitchen and just a pot ahead on the fire.
A day before you cook the chili, remove the cores and chester out of the habanero. Cut it into small pieces and lay it in the honey. Put it into your fridge until you use it.
You need a pan and a large pot. Peel the onion and the garlic and chop them in very small pieces, do the same with the bacon. Peel the bell pepper, cut it into halves and remove the cores and zesters, chop it too. Spice the meat with salt and pepper and roast it gently with some olive oil in the pan. Also roast the onion, garlic, bell pepper and the bacon with some olive oil in the pot. When the meat has some colour move it into the pot. Add the beans (filtered, no fluid of the can) and overspread it with the sauce. Stir the habanero-honey-mix in and let it gently cook for half an hour. Then it's time to check - if the chili is too fluently, stir some tomato purree in. Season it with salt, pepper, coriander and majoran. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
The result is a chili con carne which looks similar to the ones in Spencer/Hill-movies. It tastes sweet first and then you will become aware of the habanero...
What a brilliant album
"Death Magnetic" opens with a heartbeat and the song "That Was Just Your Life" followed by "The End Of The Line" - turn it on, turn it loud, ladies! This two were also the openers for Metallica's show release-show in Berlin, which I unfortunately not attended. This was the setlist, pretty cool:
That Was Just Your Life
End Of The Line
The Thing That Should Not Be
Of Wolf And Man
One
Broken, Beat and Scarred
Cyanide
Frantic
Until It Sleeps
Wherever I May Roam
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Day That Never Comes
Master Of Puppets
Blackened

Finally, Rafa's team beat United in a PL match
LFC is second in the league table and by this victory a title challenger. At least, this is the opinion of Rafa and Gerrard. I think the lads should keep their feet on the ground and confirm the challeng by winning the next matches and earn the next big points be beating Chelsea.
But for now - WELL DONE!!!
One day until "Death Magnetic"
Bud & Terence
We're celebrating our fanship for Bud Spencer and Terence Hill tomorrow with an evening watching their movies. Of course we will do that in style with chili in the way you see it on some scenes. Stay tuned for the recipy!
The great rivalry
The next clash between the PL giants is scheduled for Saturday. The last victory versus ManU was in January 2006 in the FA cup after one ball from Crouch clocked into the net. He is now in Portsmouth and Torres is likely not to appear and Gerrard also. Arbeloa stated that they owe the fans a victory. I think so too, Alvaro, so do it!
The Black Path Tour Edition
For those of you who still haven't a copy of "The Black Path". The boys released a tour edition including 3 live tracks from this year's Summer Breeze Festival!
Hofbräuhaus Traunstein
Unfortunately, I received the information today, that their beer is not available in Baden-Württemberg, what a pity!
A few days until the world gets louder
world cup 2010 - the first qualifiers
Germany had a good start in this qualification with a 6 - 0 win over Liechtenstein. OK, this is not a major opponent but some other teams had their difficulties. Look at England for example. Joe Cole saved them with scoring twice at Andorra, without him I suppose they would had a draw like Sweden in Albania. France went down in Austria, very mentionable defeat. The Frenchies again...
The seemingly ended battleing between Ballack and Bierhoff reached the next level. It's kind of amusement seeing or reading their interviews these days.
Death Magnetic leak
Metallica's new album made his way on the internet 10 days prior the official release date due to a failure of a French record store, which sold a number of copies. Tststs... the Frenchies...
Surprisingly Lars Ulrich's reaction was very relaxed:
"Listen, we're ten days from release. I mean, from here, we're golden. If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me. Ten days out and it hasn't quote-unquote fallen off the truck yet? Everybody's happy. It's 2008 and it's part of how it is these days, so it's fine. We're happy."
I don't know if he's serious or ironic. Well, the real fan will buy a prober copy anyway so will I do!
Dalton brothers
transfer period deadline is over...
First of all I think Liverpool has strengthen his squad, although Gareth Barry didn't join the Anfield outfit. This pursuit wasn't unnessecary anyway. The major players who the club were signing seems to give Rafa more options. He also stated that Jermaine Pennant won't be freezed out by him - for those of you who forgot him! Pennant can prove now that he is valueable for the squad and has the view to line up in the Carling Cup clash later this month. A too late bid from Arsenal for Xabi Alonso was rejected and this is remaining him to be a Red for at least until January.
The signing of Riera and Keane was undoubtly needed. After losing Riise and Kewell bringing a good left foot/winger to LFC is increasing the game with having the choice between Riera and Babel and not leaving Keane out there alone. Let's hope the partnership Keane/Torres are bringing more goals or room enough for their teammates to score. A good defence and a quick, strong attack is the key to challenge for the title!
The other clubs developed in some directions that was sometimes not really expected. ManCity signed Shaun Wright-Phillips and Robinho. The big spending seems not to end as they wanna bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the other side of Manchester. Meanwhile Newcastle and West Ham failed to improve their squads and this clubs saw their managers Keving Keegan and Alan Curbishley leaving immediately after the transfer period ended as a consequence for being not competative enough in their eyes.
The Premiership had the first three matchdays but it begins right now!
late deals
Meanwhile, Andriy Voronin and Steve Finnan are leaving Anfield for moves to Hertha BSC on loan (Voronin) and a transfer free move to Spanish side Espanyol (Finnan).
